JD Gyms - Southend Reviews 302

Staff are friendly and good. Range of equipment is very good and maintained well. Negative are the aircon. Last year it wasmt functioning properly and this year appears to be the same. It makes training very uncomfortable in 26 degrees.

Amazing facilities, friendly staff. Could expand the equipment in the ladies only section

Clean gym, no one stares at you and the staff are friendly and helpful. My PT, Joseph is kind, engaging, knowledgeable and enjoys a banter to keep me training, even when I don’t want to!!

I had a PT session with Joseph, he made me feel really comfortable, he explained everything thoroughly, very friendly and approachable would definitely highly recommend,

Gym has plenty of equipment with enough duplicates to make it usable. Clean and easy to access.
My only negative is that like many gyms these days staff appear a little cold and don’t appear to interact with new members.
Gyms used to be a place where you would socialise as well as workout. Nature of the times unfortunately?
This does not impact my ability to complete my workouts, therefore for functionality seems adequate.

Just started and everyone is so helpful and friendly.

Easy access. Plenty of equipment and lots of room. 10/10 👌

Very impressed with the whole experience,
from joining through to my first visit . So
much equipment there , although busy didn’t have to queue at any stage .
Will look into the classes

4/5 could do with some better equipment in the ladies only area. I often find it better for myself to go late at night so not so many people are there. It would also help if there was a QR code on every piece of equipment showing the noobies how to do the exercise correctly instead of guessing or having to “google it” apart from these points it’s very friendly everyone minds their own business so no one is judging you or what you are doing. A lot of equipment to choose from only machines are missing are crunch machine a few others for calf’s. Would recommend

Simple access great value for money! I only use classes and so far they have been excellent. Gym instructors have been amazing and the gym is clean and well kept. I think the weights in the studio could be improved as the hand weights are shabby and poor range no 4/5kg or 6Kg weights.

Really enjoying it. They have all the equipment I need and it’s a very nice environment.

Southend JD Gym: There was no reception available if you get stuck at the door. My QR code didn’t work, my son went through, and I had to wait in the car as there was no one there to help.

I am, however, eagerly waiting for the sauna to be installed, as that is currently missing. Once that’s done, it will definitely deserve a 5-star review.

Pleas turn on the heating at jd sports Southend on sea at 4am… there’s no point in it being 24hrs if it’s absolutely freezing in the mornings

Sam & her team bring a whole new vibe to JD in Southend. Looks much cleaner, organised & well managed compared to previous years.
Good range of equipment with nice sized studios & plenty of classes to choose from. Love it here & the people are great too. 100% the best gym in Southend 💪

JD Gyms in Southend has been my gym for the past four years. It is a well-equipped, clean, and professionally run facility, always staffed by a team of knowledgeable personal trainers.
For the last three years, I have trained with Robert Camp, who is fully qualified and insured. Training on my own did not deliver the results I was hoping for, but working with Robert has made a significant difference. He carefully demonstrates correct techniques and posture, ensuring every exercise is performed safely and effectively.
As a result, I have seen a marked improvement in my physical strength and stamina. I highly recommend both JD Gyms Southend and Robert Camp to anyone serious about improving their fitness.

Great local spacious gym with a large variety of equipment. Staff are friendly.
Also PT George really knows his stuff with body building and PT Rob with Boxing/ Kickboxing. In all great gym.

Gym is clean and spacious lots of different equipment and classes.
The people are amazing and the community really helps you push yourself to reach your goals.
Womens only section really helped with my confidence when i first started going.

Great gym, great people and lots of space. It's literally changed my whole fitness journey joining this gym.
Met a PT called Clare who specialises in calisthenics. I didn't even know what that was when I joined, now I'm completely hooked and Clare has so much knowledge and enthusiasm, I love learning from her and also the community she brings to the gym. Literally people from all different backgrounds of all ages make it a really friendly place to be and we learn so much from each other and always support each other, not something I ever thought you'd find in a large gym.
Izaih also brings great vibes and fun to the gym with his knowledge and expertise in Hyrox in particular, he also brings a great community of people which inspires everyone to work hard.
All staff are polite and friendly and Terry and Sam always greet you with a smile even at stupid o clock. The staff work hard keeping the gym clean and tidy and the showers and toilets are always clean.
My only request right now is could we please have a replacement ball for the 4kg one that's gone and the 3kg one which I'm sure will be replaced very soon as equipment is always repaired promptly unlike other gyms.

I have been working out in all gym's but the JD is the best, spacious well equiped, clean nice atmosphere with the led lightning and staff always keep to help. Recently I have joined Clare Calisthenic clasess and my experience is even better as I meet fantastic people during each session who share the same passsion.
Clare is giving me confidence to challenge myself in calisthenic.
